The U.S. Small Business Administration and National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development announced the organizations will sign a strategic alliance to broaden reach to Native American entrepreneurs and boost business opportunities.

The pair expects to sign the alliance at the National Reservation Economic Summit, March 17-20, in Las Vegas, Nev.

The National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development is a nonprofit organization with more than 40 years experience assisting American Indian tribes in business and economic development. The group has become one of the largest national Indian business organizations in the country, according to information provided by the SBA.

"The alliance will strengthen both organizations' goals to support the creation, development and expansion of small businesses in the American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities," the SBA said. "The 28th Annual National Reservation Economic Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada will feature respected tribal leaders, state and local elected officials and top CEO's, networking, teaming opportunities, business development sessions and American Indian procurement opportunities."

During the summit, attendees will also take part in two workshops on SBA resources and the Affordable Care Act.
